Anti-lock brake system (ABS)
ABS (or ESC) will not prevent acci-
dents due to improper or dangerous
driving maneuvers. Even though
vehicle control is improved during
emergency braking, always maintain
a safe distance between you and
objects ahead. Vehicle speeds
should always be reduced during
extreme road conditions. The vehicle
should be driven at reduced speeds
in the following circumstances:
When driving on rough, gravel or
snow-covered roads
When driving on roads where the
road surface is pitted or has differ-
ent surface heights.
Driving in these conditions increases
the stopping distance for your vehicle.The ABS continuously senses the
speed of the wheels. If the wheels
are going to lock, the ABS system
repeatedly modulates the hydraulic
brake pressure to the wheels.
When you apply your brakes under
conditions which may lock the
wheels, you may hear a “tik-tik’’
sound from the brakes, or feel a cor-
responding sensation in the brake
pedal. This is normal and it means
your ABS is active.
In order to obtain the maximum benefit
from your ABS in an emergency situa-
tion, do not attempt to modulate your
brake pressure and do not try to pump
your brakes. Press your brake pedal as
hard as possible to allow the ABS to
control the force being delivered to the
brakes.
✽ ✽
NOTICE
A click sound may be heard in the
engine compartment when the vehi-
cle begins to move after the engine is
started. These conditions are normal
and indicate that the anti-lock brake
system is functioning properly.

Driving your vehicle
The warning light illumi-
nates on the LCD display,
when you cancel Forward
Collision-Avoidance
Assist. The driver can monitor the
Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist
ON/OFF status on the LCD display.
Also, the warning light illuminates
when the ESC (Electronic Stability
Control) is turned off. When the
warning light remains ON with
Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist
activated, have your vehicle inspect-
ed by an authorized Kia dealer.Warning Timing
The driver can select the initial warn-
ing activation time on the LCD dis-
play.
Go to the “User Settings Driver
Assistance Warning Timing 
Normal/Later”The options for the initial Forward
Collision Warning includes the fol-
lowing:
- Normal:
When this condition is selected, the
initial Forward Collision Warning is
activated normally. This setting
allows for a nominal amount of dis-
tance between the vehicle ahead
before the initial warning occurs.
- Later:
When this condition is selected, the
initial Forward Collision Warning is
activated later than normal. This set-
ting reduces the amount of distance
between the vehicle ahead, the
pedestrian or the cyclist before the
initial warning occurs.
Select 'Later' when traffic is light and
when driving speed is slow.
If the vehicle in front puts on a burst
of speed, the driver can notice the
warning alarm is early even though
the later option is selected.

Forward Collision-Avoidance
Assist warning message and
function control
Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist
produces warning messages and
warning alarms in accordance with
the collision risk levels of followings
like vehicle’s sudden braking in front
or lack of vehicle distance or collision
to pedestrian or cyclist. Also, it con-
trols the brakes in accordance with
the collision risk levels.
The driver can select the initial warn-
ing activation time in the User set-
tings in the LCD display. The
options for the initial Forward
Collision Warning include Normal or
Late initial warning time.
Collision Warning (1st warning)
The warning message appears on
the LCD display with the warning
alarms.
The Vehicle may slow down slightly
- It will operate if the vehicle speed
is greater than 8 km/h (5 mph)
and less than or equal to 180
km/h (110 mph) on a forward
vehicle. (Depending on the condi-
tion of the vehicle ahead and the
environment surrounding it, the
possible maximum operating
speed may be reduced.)

WARNING
Forward Collision-Avoidance
Assist is only a supplemental
function for the driver’s con-
venience. The driver has the
ultimate responsibility to con-
trol and operate the vehicle
safely. Do not solely depend on
Forward Collision-Avoidance
Assist. Rather, maintain a safe
braking distance, and, if neces-
sary, depress the brake pedal
to lower the driving speed.
In certain instances and under
certain driving conditions,
Forward Collision-Avoidance
Assist may activate uninten-
tionally. This initial warning
message appears on the LCD
display with a warning chime.
(Continued)
(Continued)
Also, in certain instances the
front view camera or front
radar recognition function may
not detect the vehicle, pedestri-
an or cyclist (if equipped)
ahead. Forward Collision-
Avoidance Assist may not acti-
vate and the warning message
will not be displayed.
Forward Collision-Avoidance
Assist may unnecessarily pro-
duce the warning message
and the warning alarms. Also,
due to the sensing limitation,
Forward Collision-Avoidance
Assist may not produce the
warning message and the
warning alarm at all.
When there is a malfunction
with Forward Collision-
Avoidance Assist, the braking
control does not operate upon
detecting a collision risk even
with other braking systems
normally operating.
(Continued)(Continued)
Forward Collision-Avoidance
Assist operates only for the
vehicle/pedestrian in front, while
driving forward. It does not oper-
ate for any animals or vehicles
in the opposite direction.
Forward Collision-Avoidance
Assist does not recognize the
vehicle, which transversally
drives across the crossroad,
or the vehicle, which is parked
in the transversal direction.
If the vehicle in front stops
suddenly, you may have less
control of the brake system.
Therefore, always keep safe
distance between your vehicle
and the vehicle in front of you.
Forward Collision-Avoidance
Assist may activate during
braking and the vehicle may
stop suddenly. And the load in
the vehicle may endanger pas-
sengers. Therefore, always be
mindful of the load volume in
the vehicle.

such as mirrors, white paper,
etc. it may cause malfunction
of Lane Keeping Assist if sun-
light is reflected.
You may not hear warning
sound of Lane Keeping Assist
because of the excessive
audio sound.
(Continued)(Continued)
If other beeps such as the
seat belt warning sound are in
operation and override Lane
Keeping Assist alarming func-
tion, Lane Keeping Assist
beeps may not occur.
At high vehicle speeds, the
steering torque needed for
assistance may not be suffi-
cient to keep your vehicle
within the lane. If so, the vehi-
cle may move out of its lane.
Always obey the speed limit
when using Lane Keeping
Assist.
If you attach objects to the
steering wheel, the function
may not assist steering.
If you attach objects to the
steering wheel, hands off
